Got a bug that might have the ability to brick your save, or at least being able to load it.
set $characters.dom.dead = true
set $characters.dom.quests.new_king = true
set $characters.dom.quests.new_king_day = $game.day
set $characters.reputation += 50
The characters.reputation might null out, which caused my inability to reload my saves. Pretty sure that last line is supposed to be $player.reputation
